I was supposed to write up to 5 reviews for one store, but I got so excited and ended up writing 6 reviews already... I will definitely continue to use this store in the future, so I'll keep it light here. On February 3, this is currently my favorite chocolate shop. For Setsubun, instead of Ehomaki, I bought Brassode Chocolata (Chocolate Swiss Roll) (1728). It was delicious. The chocolate was rich but not too heavy, and I finished it in one go. I can't really put it into words, but it was just so delicious. The wrapping was lovely, and when I think about everything, the price seems reasonable. It could be a good gift too! It comes with cacao nibs, so after cutting it, I sprinkle them on top and enjoy them together. It adds a nice texture and flavor accent. For this year's Valentine's Day chocolates, I bought KAKAWA (5400) which allows you to compare 12 different origins, and Small Bear (2916) which was a leftover from Christmas Bear. I haven't tried them yet, so I will add more details later. When I visited Amour du Chocolat at Nihonbashi Takashimaya, I tried their exclusive Blanco Cacao (550) which had raspberry sauce on top. It was delicious. But I felt a bit lonely eating it alone, and guilty. I love it so much, so I will continue to visit often. I hope to treat myself to Ibiza someday. KAKAWA's notes: Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba, Santo Domingo, Peru, Sao Tome, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Tanzania. Surprisingly, my favorite was Cuba! In 2023, I relied heavily on Kakao Sanpaka. Firstly, at the end of January, I bought 4 Rajolas and Heritage 25 (a set with all Rajolas flavors) at the main store. Heritage 25 was for my husband for Valentine's Day! With this, he can find out which chocolate he likes. Next, in early February, I tried the soft serve (605) at Nihonbashi Takashimaya event. It was delicious! I wanted to buy another Rajolas, but they were sold out, so I walked to the main store and successfully purchased one. Furthermore, in early March, I wanted to send a gift to a friend, so I sent a Heart Tablet to the main store. I hope she likes it! I have been greatly helped, so I sent my gratitude! For home use, I bought Dark and Ruby Rich Tarts, each for 540 yen. They are delicious, but considering the price, I feel a bit unsatisfied. On March 12, I visited with my husband and bought a half-size Brassode Chocolata (1296). After returning home, we split it in half and enjoyed it. It had cacao nibs and was bitter and delicious. When I mentioned that I had eaten it instead of Ehomaki for Setsubun a few years ago, my husband seemed surprised as he didn't remember. I might be visiting Sanpaka too often lately (laughs). I always get asked about the Brix Square point card, but I don't have one so I say I don't have it. With this frequency, I think I should have gotten one, but ultimately, it doesn't make much sense since I won't be going for a while... I'm still enjoying the Valentine's Heritage 25, it's really good! You can clearly see the differences in each, and it's fun. It also helps me confirm my taste preferences. Personally, I'm thinking of finding my favorite chocolate and buying it next, but my husband thinks it's better to eat these various types again next time (laughs). Our perspectives don't quite align.

I visited the Kakao Sanpaka Marunouchi Main Store, a chocolate specialty shop in Marunouchi. On this day, I tried the Chocolat Soft Serve. It was a rich and elegant chocolate-based ice cream that I personally enjoyed! I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Taking my time to visit a hundred famous shops every day. This year, the dessert department has branched out, hasn't it? It's getting harder with more places to eat. After finishing my plans at Tokyo Station, I finally went to Kakao Sanpaka, a place I've been wanting to visit for a while. It's right next to the Échiré shop, so it's easy to find. I ordered the classic Jarattz Cacao. There was a small seating area for about 4-5 people available, so I enjoyed it there. The cacao was rich and very delicious. I went for the ice cream, but there were also many varieties of chocolate, so I should have bought something to take home.

On a day off, I visited this chocolate specialty shop alone. Located about a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Exit, along Nakadori Street, this shop offers exquisite chocolates made with carefully selected rare cacao, which has even been designated as a royal warrant. It is a prestigious shop born in Barcelona. The shop has won the '22-'23 Sweets Top 100 award continuously. When I visited on a Saturday after 4 pm, there were four older ladies as customers. The seating area was full in the small shop. As I glanced at the showcase displaying bean-to-bar chocolates and the somewhat hesitant Heart Bear Caloro, I headed towards the back where the Jarahtz was located, available in cacao and blanco flavors. I decided to order the Jarahtz cacao. When I received the Jarahtz, before I could ask, the staff in black clothes opened the exit door and said, "Thank you very much. Please come this way (ΦωΦ)." It seems like my lack of manners was easily noticed (´^ω^｀) lol. I enjoyed the Jarahtz on a bench in the adjacent Bricks Square plaza. It had a distinct cacao acidity, rich aroma, and a lingering smooth bitterness. The mellow sweetness and the mature taste of the chocolate were delightful. It's still too early to bring my son here (´^ω^｀). Thank you for the meal. I'll visit again solo.

Jalatts Cocoa Soft Serve for 650 yen The soft serve at this chocolate specialty shop was very rich! I could strongly smell the cocoa, and the soft serve had a balance of sweetness and a hint of bitterness. Stopping by in the summer and enjoying the soft serve in the cool shop was truly special!

I visited the shop at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The interior of the shop was small with only 3 or 4 counter seats for dining in. There were about 5 people inside looking at the products. I ordered the Jaratts Branco (White Chocolate) for ¥650 and the Jaratts Cacao (Chocolate) for ¥650. Both were extremely rich and delicious. The Cacao had a deep and intense flavor, while the White Chocolate had a subtle sweetness and a smooth texture that was surprisingly delicious. If you're torn between the Chocolate and White Chocolate, I recommend the White Chocolate! ❤️

I received it... Thank you ❤️ It is a special collection that invites you to a journey around the world of cocoa, allowing you to fully enjoy the different aromas and flavors of each origin. From Ecuador, Venezuela, Grenada, Madagascar, King's Cocoa Shokonusuko, Costa de Marfil, Santo Domingo, Papua New Guinea, to Cameroon, each one looks similar but truly has different aromas, textures, and flavors. It was very enjoyable. Thank you for the meal (๑>◡<๑)

On a rainy evening in Marunouchi, before heading back to Nagano, I stumbled upon a chocolate shop with fogged-up windows that looked enchanting. I couldn't resist and went inside to find chocolates displayed in a case, as well as ice cream for sale. I ended up ordering the Jaratska Cacao ice cream and also took home a chocolate cake. The ice cream had a soft texture with a strong cocoa aroma, offering a sophisticated sweetness with a hint of bitterness and a rich, satisfying taste. It was truly delicious. The chocolate cake I bought for later, called Madalena Chocolata, was enjoyed the next day after being refrigerated. Upon opening the box, I found a dark circular cake with a rich cocoa aroma. It had a light and fluffy texture, packed with cocoa flavor, yet surprisingly light and refreshing. It was like eating chocolate with your eyes closed. Both the ice cream and the cake were cocoa-rich sweets that left a lasting impression.

I discovered Kakao Sanpaka while walking from Yurakucho Station towards Marunouchi. I stopped by the Marunouchi main store and tried their soft serve ice cream in a cone because it was hot. I ate it outside and it melted quickly, but it was delicious.

The warm and cozy atmosphere on the first floor of a building near Tokyo Station's Brick Square was quite impressive. The shop is located next to Esseur. Upon opening the heavy door, you are greeted by a chocolate bear welcoming you inside. There are four round chairs for dining in, and self-service water is available. The soft serve ice cream comes in two flavors: Jaratz Cacao and Jaratz Blanco (White Chocolate), served in a cup or cone of your choice. The Jaratz Cacao flavor has a rich chocolate aroma and a smooth taste that melts delicately. The chocolate-colored waffle cone is also deliciously fragrant. Most of the customers seemed to be enjoying this flavor. With a pleasant grassy area and a swing nearby, I leisurely enjoyed my ice cream under the blue sky. It was a truly exquisite soft serve ice cream. Thank you for the wonderful treat.

Chocolate specialty store located in Marunouchi. You can enjoy the ice cream inside the shop. I ordered the Jaras Cacao flavor on this day. The ice cream had a very rich chocolate taste, truly reflecting the quality of a chocolate specialty store. They also have a wide variety of chocolates available for takeout, making you want to try them as well.

Located a 3-5 minute walk from Nijubashi-mae Station is the famous chocolate shop Kakao Sanpaka Marunouchi Main Store. Known for their chocolate sweets, this shop was selected as one of the top 100 sweets shops in Tokyo for 2022-2023. The shop does not allow photography inside, but you can check out their menu on their website or Instagram. I tried their Ecuador Chou Chocolat, an original choux cream filled with chocolate cream and chocolate chips mixed into the choux pastry. By combining 100% cocoa couverture with 70% cocoa Spanish couverture, the taste of chocolate becomes rich and complex, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. Although their products are on the pricey side, the quality and attention to detail are worth it. Be sure to visit and try their exquisite sweets. Bon appétit!

As the end of summer approaches and the weather is muggy due to the influence of a typhoon, I visited CACAO SAMPAKA in Marunouchi's Brick Square. I tried the Jaraz Blanco (¥650), which is a white chocolate soft serve mixed with Baileys cream liqueur, creating an elegant and sophisticated taste. It also has hints of rum and raisin flavor. The chocolate with CACAO SAMPAKA written on it was delicious as well. The overall balance of the cone, soft serve, and chocolate was excellent, showcasing the high level of sophistication in the craftsmanship of this chocolatier. The deep and alluring richness of high-quality cocoa is also captivating. This is truly a taste for adults.

I stopped by the first store of the Spanish royal chocolate shop "CACAOSAMPAKA" on the 1st floor of Marunouchi Brick Square on a holiday evening. The "Jalat Cocoa" was sold out, so I ordered the white chocolate soft serve "Jalat Blanco" for ¥650. You could choose between a cone or a cup for the soft serve, and I chose a cone. The chocolate plate from CACAOSAMPAKA was also delicious with a smooth texture. The white chocolate soft serve was light and delicious with a smooth texture. Next time, I would like to buy some chocolates as well. Thank you for the meal.

On the way to the neighboring Eshure, I succumbed to the heat and stopped by an oasis. Inside the small shop, beautiful sweets were lined up. Although chocolate was originally famous, on this day, I was craving the coolness of soft serve ice cream, so I chose that here. What I ordered: Jaratsuburanko 650 yen. With each bite, the cool vanilla sweetness passed through my throat, stimulating it. It was refreshing yet rich, and I was impressed by its unique deliciousness. Moreover, I usually get tired of the taste of soft serve ice cream halfway through, but with this one, I enjoyed it until the end. Personally, it was the most delicious soft serve ice cream I have ever had. I hope to have it again sometime this summer.

A friend was in Tokyo and we met up in Yurakucho before they left. They went to a famous butter shop and lined up, while I visited a high-end chocolate specialty store nearby for the first time. I ordered the "Jalat Cocoa" soft serve in a cone, which was perfect for the season. It had a rich cocoa flavor but a refreshing aftertaste, making it easy to eat and delicious. I'll definitely come back next time to buy some chocolates.

On Sunday morning, after 11 o'clock, I went on a sweets tour in Marunouchi Nakadori. The third stop was Kakao Sanpaka, located next to Échiré. I used to go to their store in Omotesando often, but this was my first time here. I ordered the Chocolat Impérial for 650 yen, which I saw on the sign outside. While waiting, I enjoyed a delicious rose water drink. When I finally tried the Chocolat Impérial outside, it was cold, not too sweet, and had an elegant taste. It was incredibly delicious! It had been a while since I last had it, but it's definitely a top-notch dessert. Thank you for the wonderful meal! It was so delicious that I will definitely visit again soon.

"Cacao Sampaka Marunouchi Main Store" is a chocolate specialty shop that has been awarded in the sweets category of the 2022 Tabelog Top 100 list. I tried the Jaras Cacao for 650 yen, made with the finest cocoa powder. You can choose between a cone or a cup for the soft serve, and I chose the cone today. The soft serve was rich but not too sweet, with a rich cocoa flavor. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #CacaoSampaka #MarunouchiGourmet #SoftServe #Chocolate #DeliciousSoftServe #MarunouchiLunch #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #GourmetInstagram #GourmetMemo #WantToConnectWithFoodies #FoodPornGram #FoodTerrorGram #GourmetTravel #DeliciousIsHappiness #LookingForGourmetFriends #GourmetClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WantToConnectWithGourmets #KantoGourmet #FoodReportGram #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoGourmet

I went to Yurakucho to apply for a passport. After receiving a numbered ticket, I was told there was a one and a half hour wait, so I decided to leave and searched for a nearby cafe. I found a cafe that I had saved before, which was within walking distance, so I decided to visit. As a big chocolate lover, I ordered the popular Jarattz Cacao and the limited-time drink Chocolatine Valrhona. The soft serve was delicious, but the taste was as expected. The drink was very rich and delicious! There are only 4 seats in the eat-in space, and there is a 15-minute time limit, so if you want to relax, it might be better to go to a different cafe. They also have a variety of baked goods for takeout, making it a recommended shop for souvenirs!

Next to Échiré, there is this shop that I always wanted to visit but always avoided due to the long line at Échiré. This time, I had some extra time and decided to try their Chocolatine Impériale chocolate smoothie for dine-in. It was rich and delicious. The self-service water server didn't have very cold water, but it had a faint scent of roses.

About a 5-minute walk from JR Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Exit. The place has a high-class and stylish atmosphere. Today, I ordered a cup of Jarattsu Cacao for 650 yen. There are only 5 counter seats, but you can also eat in. The soft serve ice cream in the cup is a bit small, but the bitter taste with the depth of cocoa is nice. It's truly a soft serve ice cream for adults. I enjoyed it until the end. Thank you for the meal.
